Changing the battery in the key fob
Can some kind soul point me to some idiot proof instructions for doing this that don't involve recoding anything or going to a dealer (assuming that's possible)?

Assuming they are all the same, I just flip the lid off the fob (flick the metal key out and pull/pry the exposed ridge of the cover), pop out the old one and slip in the new one, and press the lid back on.
Mine is like this one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxR6FvgiVeo There is no coding it just works, but probably best to do it within 5 minutes, not take out the battery and then order one and wait for it to come. It is a CR2032 Last edited by snapdragon; 29th January 2016 at 08:00 PM.

I replaced both of mine a while back, (twice in fact as the first batteries were from a multipack and were running) without issue. I did make sure I did it swiftly, just in case. But didn't rush or anything.

Yep, that's the fob type. Cheers. Will give it a go.
Eta: well that was a bit easier than I thought it might be!
